the study of past human activity in all its
variety across the world. Historians seek to identify those events and
people that were important to the past, as well as those that continue
to be important to the present. The indispensable perspective of time enables
us to transcend our parochial horizons. Through investigation, analysis,
writing, discussion, and appreciation of our past, we come to a better
understanding of ourselves and the general human condition.
